With the metal wheels I found that by carving the wood element away you can effectively create a broken wheel rim which looks good. My Ligny project has a picture of the Prussian 1st Corps heavy artillery in trouble which illustrates this.

LOL........Funny you should say that. No I do sleep and have to do all the mundane things in life except work as I am retired from the rat race.My wife still works so once the daily chores are done I am free to indulge my passion.

Whenever I see scenes of Napoleon retreat from Russia I remember the battle of Berezina river and how I saw one scene of it in one Napooleonic movie. I also back than in 2010 wanted to make one scene on this subject my self.

I received my Muraski minitures in the post today and although they are quite pricey they are lovely figures. I have primed them and they are ready to paint.

I kit bashed another two figures using green stuff and various body parts from different plastic manufacturers.

Finaly in this post I have set the figures up on my desk to represent my vision of how I want the diorama to look. I have also photographed the so far finished wagons and items which will be in the debris field of the diorama

The vision is for the reargaurd to be fending off a Cossack attack while the rest of the army retreat.
